Jane Addams Hull-House Museum

"This was a very interesting and informative small museum. I had no idea all of this existed during the social struggles 100 years ago. But it’s very inspirational for current efforts. It reminds me that progress is slow and takes hard work."

"Hull-House is a living inspiration. There are tons of pieces of information, it's free, and seeing this beautiful level of (oft-gay) solidarity in the face of extreme government surveillance and interference is the goal. :)"

"Really cool place! Tells the amazing story of fighting for women's rights in an era where this was practically un-heard of. I throughly enjoyed the tour and the artifacts they had on display. Jane Addams nobel prize is here, her books, and really interesting stories and personal accounts of the people she helped and vis-versa. Only downside was parking around UIC is not cool. I was blasted with a $75 parking ticket after my tour"

"Fascinating histories. Make sure you ask questions - the stories in this place are deep and important. Shout out to Nadia, who kindly answered every inquiry of mine."

"The Jane Addams-Hull House museum is a must visit for anyone looking to understand the settlement house movement and the progressive movement in the early 20th century. It does involve a fair bit of reading , but it is logically laid out and accessible for kids thru adults. It can easily be visited in 90-120 minutes, depending on how much reading you do. It is over two floors, and the staircase to the 2nd floor would be a bit of a challenge if you have mobility issues. This museum is best accessed by public transit. You can take the CTA Blue Line to UIC-Halsted, and then walk 2 block south, on Halsted, to the museum. CTA Bus #8-Halsted stops right in front of the museum. If you do drive, parking on Taylor St, just south of the museum, is your best option. The museum is on the campus of the University of Illinois-Chicago. So, for dining options, there are some in the building just behind the museum, called UIC Student Center East, but if you walk south to Taylor St, you are in Little Italy and you have a myriad of options. You can also walk north on Halsted St, to Greek Town. All in all, a worthwhile destination."
